ABU DAHBI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Al-Qaida has reportedly sent a message to its network of sleeper agents in the Persian Gulf, ordering more attacks on the United States and its allies.
Intelligence sources told Middle East Newsline last weekend's taped message from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was meant to awaken sleepers to carry out one or more unspecified attacks, with the main target believed to be Kuwait.
An unidentified intelligence source told MENL: "We believe this was directed at al-Qaida's large sleeper network in Kuwait to move into action. There's nothing more specific than this."
Bin Laden's message broadcast over the Aljazeera satellite channel warned of new attacks against the United States and its allies in Iraq. MENL noted that during that message, bin Laden named one only Arab country -- Kuwait.
